If I could give this service 0 out of 5 stars, I would. First, I want to acknowledge how wonderful Naomi was when she helped place me in my first role. The second recruiter I worked with, Michelle, was also an absolute angel. She was supportive, kind, and communicative throughout the process, and I truly appreciated working with both of them. Unfortunately, my experience with the owner, Claudia, was the complete opposite. I have never in my life worked with someone as unprofessional as she was. To provide context, I was matched with two ultra high net worth clients through this company. Both individuals turned out to be extremely emotionally abusive. I have worked in the celebrity industry since I was 20 years old, and by the time I worked with these clients at age 31, I had never encountered behavior to that degree. While I understand that the company's priority is to place candidates and generate revenue, there should have been transparency about the individuals they were placing me with. In my experience, Claudia was only kind and engaged when a placement was made and the company was earning money. During my second placement, I gave a two week notice due to the increasingly toxic and emotionally abusive behavior I was experiencing from the client. One week into that notice period, the situation escalated further and I made the decision to leave the position early. I had previously been transparent with Michelle about my concerns and my desire to leave the role. At one point, the client contacted Claudia and shortly afterward Claudia left me a very aggressive voicemail referencing an NDA and accusing me of disclosing information about a previous employer. This accusation was completely unfounded. The previous client I worked for through this company was already listed on my resume, so there was nothing confidential about that information. I chose to respond by text message because I did not want to engage in a heated conversation when I knew I had done nothing wrong. Claudia's response to my message was simply a vomiting emoji. I found this reaction extremely unprofessional and inappropriate, especially given the circumstances I was dealing with at the time. The company and employer also made several accusations about my conduct. Ultimately, I provided the California EDD with substantial documentation covering the three month duration of my employment, including text messages, emails, and medical documentation. After reviewing the evidence, the judge ruled in my favor and granted unemployment benefits. It took me nearly two years to feel comfortable enough to write this review because of how stressful and traumatic the experience was. My hope is that no one else is placed into situations like this without transparency or support. I sincerely hope the company reflects on how candidates are treated moving forward. read more

You interview there, they tell you you're great, your resume is good. You feel positive about getting a job through them. You apply to every job that you discussed in your interview, you email, you call, you do all you can, to be met with nothing, job after job. Month after month. In the beginning you think you'll probably be a priority for the next job since you didn't get the other one. Again nothing. You hear nothing from them. No emails, no calls. A complete lack of respect for your time. A complete waste of time. read more

You gotta have thick skin, then another layer to get into the job search with this company. It's a roller coaster to say the least. Even with a solid resume this feels more than demeaning after a while. I understand your livelihood comes from the employers, but come on, you gotta treat job seekers with some courtesy and communication!! read more

I am writing this review based on a deeply troubling experience I had with The Help Company over a decade ago that still stands out as one of the most painful and damaging moments of my early career. At the time, I was in my early 20s, freshly graduated from UC Berkeley, young, eager, and trusting. I did not yet fully have my voice, my confidence, or the life experience I have now -- and I believe that played a role in how easily I was dismissed and harmed. Initially, I was working with an agent named Katie, who was at first kind, warm, and actively sending me on trials. However, my limited interactions with Claudia were consistently the opposite -- cold, dismissive, and at times outright rude. I brushed this off at the time because I believed in giving people the benefit of the doubt, and because my relationship with Katie felt supportive. Looking back now, those early red flags matter. I completed a weekend trial with a high-profile family in Santa Barbara, and the trial itself went exceptionally well. Everything about the weekend indicated that I would be offered the position. Unbeknownst to me, a background check was run during that same weekend. After the trial concluded and while I was driving back to Los Angeles, I received a call from someone at the agency informing me that my background check had supposedly come back stating that I had committed Grand Theft Auto -- an allegation that was 100% false. When I tried to calmly explain that there must have been a mistake, both The Help Company and the third-party background check company were immediately accusatory, cold, and dismissive. I was not treated like a professional who had just successfully completed a successful trial -- I was treated like someone already assumed guilty. I contacted the background check company directly, and the woman on the phone arrogantly insisted that their system "doesn't make mistakes." After I continued to push back, they reran my background -- and it came back completely clear. Instead of apologizing, taking accountability, or acknowledging their error, the representative then accused me of somehow quickly "clearing" the charge through the courthouse, which is both false and illogical. I was even asked, shockingly, "What exactly did you steal?" despite the clean report. At no point was there an apology. Only defensiveness, judgment, and accusation. Following this incident, The Help Company stopped returning my phone calls entirely and effectively blacklisted me without explanation -- based solely on a background check mistake that had already been proven false. As a Black woman in an industry where bias already exists, the speed at which I was presumed guilty, discarded, and denied grace was deeply painful and deeply telling. Looking back with adult eyes, what I experienced feels not only negligent, but discriminatory. At the time, I didn't yet understand how to fully advocate for myself. I was young. I was in my people-pleasing phase. I felt powerless, embarrassed, and disposable. And I carry regret that I did not fight harder back then -- but youth and shock silence people. Now, more than 13 years later, I am a grown woman who has found her voice, her confidence, and her power. I am one of the top-earning, highest-ranked nannies in Los Angeles. I have worked with multiple high-profile families, passed extensive and repeated background checks with absolute consistency, remain registered with Trustline, and have maintained a spotless professional record. Other agencies have been genuinely shocked when hearing this story. My background has been triple-checked many times since -- always clean. What happened here was not a reflection of my character, my qualifications, or my integrity. It was a failure of due process, professionalism, accountability, and basic human decency. I am sharing this now not from a place of bitterness, but from a place of clarity. What I tolerated back then as a young woman, I would never tolerate today. And while I cannot go back and advocate for the younger version of myself in that moment, I can speak now -- so that others are empowered to advocate for themselves, trust their instincts, and understand the importance of how agencies handle accusations, background checks, and human lives. read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Heather throughout my interview process. She provided great insight into the process I was undergoing and answered all questions straightforward and with kindness. read more

They have great customer service, Michelle is the only one thats been trying to help. I've been looking for work for more than a year now with no luck. I've applied to every job posted and NEVER have I had an interview with them. Every time I email or call them regarding a post they say it's taken or it's old. Not sure if I'm not qualified or I'm overqualified it's a little discouraging. If you're looking for work apply at other agencies don't waste your time with The Help Company, I have yet to get a call from them. Good luck if you're looking for work. read more

Best decision i have ever made in my life To be connected with The Help Company. If you are ever looking for help definitely choose this company. They are the BEST!

Nothing I can asked for more. So blessed that GOD used them so I can enjoy the work of my hands and not labor in vain. Thank you all again wonderful and awesome people " The Help Company" May you always be blessed so we can be blessed as well! Love you guys! read more

This is hands down THE best agency in Los Angeles. Not only did they find me an amazing job that is the perfect fit for me, but working with them throughout the whole process has been such a pleasure. They spent close to 2 hours with me initially, in order to really get a sense of me and understand what I was looking for. They are absolutely wonderful! read more

Claudia the owner and her team run an amazing operation, she's genius behind all the hard work done with this domestic agency,She placed me in a A List position with a high end salary,I've known them for years and you can really tell it's a great agency on how they have grown across the country. Trust that if you're looking for employment or looking to find a top quality candidates she will do the work for you . Look no further read more

I've been working with Michele at The Help for a while now. She really listened to me and the type of family I was looking for. She considered my commute, how the parents communicated with her and really just advocated for me. I am so appreciative of her! Most of the other local agencies only advocate for the families bc they want their fee. Michele has your back and really fights to get you pay you deserve and a schedule that won't let you burn out. She kept in constant communication with me and reached out when she thought I might be interested. Other agencies barely remember who you are bc they deal with hundreds of Nannies. I've been with my current family for a little over a month now and am the happiest I've ever been. I highly recommend working with The Help. Thanks, Michele! read more

I want to say it loud "Thank you Thank you" for finding me my dream job with this wonderful family in Beverly Hills & East Hampton NY! thanks Claudia & your amazing team!!! God bless you all I highly recommend The Help Company ! Robert Interiano read more

The Help Company - Flying to East Hampton - Employment Agencies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Attentive, engaged and kind! Those are just a few words that come to mind when I think about my experience at The Help Company, particularly with Naomi - who is absolutely wonderful! I recently found myself looking for work after being employed for many years. I felt a bit lost as to where to turn, but believe I stumbled upon exactly what I was looking for when I met Naomi. From the moment we started corresponding, she was warm, energetic and made me feel at ease during this new and unsure time in my life. After meeting Naomi, I felt understood and in the best hands. She asks great open ended questions, that allows her to learn about your strengths, desires and preferences when seeking employment. She encourages you to evaluate the presentation of your self, your skills and your resumé by providing feedback and suggestions in the most positive way! I cannot stress enough how responsive and understanding Naomi is. When an interview fell through, she contacted me after-hours to keep me updated. When I had questions, she was there. When I would write emails or call, she responded. Naomi never made me feel as though I was a burden. When we spoke, I could feel her smile through the phone. I've found my dream job and it wasn't by accident. It's due to all of the efforts and kindness shown to me by Naomi and The Help Company! My positive feedback for my experience is endless. If you'd like to see for yourself, I strongly encourage you to reach out - you will not be disappointed! read more

I first signed with The Help Company many years ago when a friend took me to their office to find a job (which I ended finding by myself). I don't remember how the process was, but I do remember they weren't very friendly. Last year when I was job hunting, I decided to give them a try again. After days calling and leaving messages without any luck of talking to someone, I emailed Claudia directly to schedule a interview and be able to give them new paperwork. She replied saying a interview wasn't necessary (haven't been there in at least 10 years) and ask me to send everything through email, which I did promptly. Every since, I send almost daily emails about new positions to everyone in the company (Claudia, Naomi, Michelle and Katie) and when I show interest, the position always abruptly change. The answers (which I not always get, btw) are always the same: "position change to part time", "they are not looking anymore", "position is on hold", "far from you (in a radius of 8 miles ?)", "somebody else is working with that job, I'll forward", "we will email you if they decide to meet", "we will make a note that you are interest", "they are now paying less then the description says"... and so it goes. Honestly? BS! It's been more than a year now, and I haven't been to a single interview yet. I've been told many time that I have great references letters, a great resume and that people would be happy to have me. So, the only thing I can think of is that they don't like me, that my profile doesn't match their agency's, or that they have their own favorites, because I mean, is very obvious that my resume is always left out, or maybe the last one to be send out. I sure did asked them many times to be honest tho. They have the right to not want to work with me... but if that's the case, then say it. Don't loose my precious time if you are not interested in helping me, or if I'm not a fit for your agency! I have no idea why this company has so many good reviews. I know people that had luck with them, but I also know a lot people that haven't. So, just a thought: don't loose your time like I did. There are better agencies in town. They will at least treat you with some respect, tell you the truth and reply your emails! (And Claudia, no need to reply my review here in a sarcastic way like you did with the other lady! Be at least a little bit professional!) read more

Wonderful! I love The Help Company. This is a unique recruiting company that doesn't work on commission so they really care to place the right person with the right clients. It's not for the quickie job, this is the place to go when you want to make a difference and sometimes that takes a tiny bit of patience. This is the place to go if you want the best in looking for meaningful work. This is the place if you want to be treated with respect and kindness and appreciation along the way. I've worked with everyone there and every time I talk with one of the staffers I feel seen, heard and understood. I know I will be sent on the right interviews. It's such a relief! It's like having an agent. read more

To be fair, I doubt if the Help Company would be in business all these years if all the "lousy" reviews were correct. She obviously has had success in placing people, but my experiences with her were not so great. Both as someone seeking work, and seeking someone to work, so from both spectrums rather mediocre. Once I was employed, I was looking for a Chef for someone (very legit request) and ended up having to find the Chef through other channels. Having worked at a 5 Star 5 Diamond property in Beverly Hills for several years, I know what discerning clients want. I left there briefly to do a stint that didn't work out because nothing was spelled out on paper, signed, etc. My bad. So with extra time on my hands, I went to the Help Agency to look for extra work for myself. I deal with celebrities, royalty, extremely wealthy people who ask me to help them with various things all the time. I know the feel for the business and am very familiar with the clientele, so they're doing something right. I guess this type of agency is geared more for people seeking help as opposed to people looking for jobs. Not sure. read more

This is the best of the best domestic agency!!! Thank you Michelle!! for helping me get the best job with the best family in LA!! I can see myself working with this family for many years to come!! Thank you for taking the time to look for the best match for me and for the confidence you had in me and the amazing support you gave me while i was not so happy in my previous job.

The help company is the best agency there is!!! Naomi and Katie are amazing! They're genuinely nice and caring. They found an amazing job with an amazing family I've been working for this family for about a year now and I referred my sister and they also got her a good paying job with an amazing family! Thank you Katie, Naomi and Claudia. My sister and I are so grateful to you for helping us find a great job If you're looking for a job don't hesitate to contact them sometimes it takes a few weeks or even months but trust me they're always working hard to make sure they match you with the best family based on your personality/needs and with a job you can stay for a long time. read more

I recently interviewed with The Help Company as apart of the hiring process for my new job and they helped make the process so smooth and easy. Naomi was super helpful and communicative throughout the whole process! I can tell that The Help Company puts in a great level of care and detail when matching an employer with the right employee and vice versa. read more

I love the Help Company ladies! I've tried other agencies for private chef work, but they only cared about the clients and not the employees. It was always a one-sided relationship where my preferences and concerns were never taken into consideration. The Help Company cares about all parties involved and wants everyone to be happy. I feel well taken care of at this agency and I've gotten a lot of great clients through them. I also love that I can pick up random dinner parties and long-term work through them. I highly recommend them! read more

I've been working with /through the Help Company for about four years now and I'm so grateful to Katie, Claudia, Naomi and Michelle. It's clear to me that they want the best for their clients and the most precise match for their clients . Of course ultimately the client decides who they want to work with. I have received several excellent positions through them, my current one is permanent. It's a great match, I love my job and clients and everyone is happy.. Bring your A game- their clients deserve it and the agency expects nothing less. I highly recommend the Help Company. read more

A huge thank you to Claudia, Katie, and Naomi at The Help Company! I met with Claudia on January 1st and immediately felt like 2019 was going to be a great year! She had the most positive energy and really had me so excited about finding my "unicorn family" - and her and her team did not disappoint! Within a day of meeting Claudia I was scheduled for multiple interviews with incredible families. Everyone at THC are pros at what they do and I couldn't be happier with the family they placed me with! Thank you so much for everything, THC!! read more

Where so I begin? From the time I was introduced to Naomi she was kind, warm, ultra hard working; and went above and beyond to help find me the perfect job. She didn't even tell me about jobs unless she personally thought we would be a good match and that I met the employers expectations and vice versa. She responded to emails and calls so quickly and ultimately found me what is truly my dream job. I would recommend Naomi and any of the wonderful people who work at the Help Company to help with your job placement or to help you find the perfect employee for your home. My boss and I both agree that she made an amazing match placing us together. I can never thank her enough! read more

This agency is great!!! I highly recommend it. Michele is great she never stopped looking for an opportunity to place me to the perfect family that's fits me well. She is always on top of her game. Looking and negotiating everything for me, she responded very fast on everything. I can't thank you enough for placing me to the right fit. read more

I cannot say enough about The Help Company and my experience working with them. I was laid off in May and was challenged with a pre-booked trip to Europe in September, not only did they help me find a part time position to bridge my time before my trip, they also just helped me land a new, exciting full time position! All the ladies here have always been extremely nice and professional but I specifically worked with Naomi, who always goes above and beyond to be responsive, honest and caring. Searching for a job can be a very stressful time and having Naomi and The Help Company at my side made me feel supported and valued and in turn, gainfully employed ! read more

The help company is the best! They helped me find a family very quickly. Ive been with the family for about a year now. Michele Lasman is the best she was very attentive, quick, organized and helped negotiate the perfect contract . Very happy with their whole team! She has even kept in touch to make sure I was comfortable and happy even after quickly placing with an AMAZING family. Definitely apply to the Help Company you won't regret it! read more

I reached out to The Help Company when I relocated to Los Angeles earlier this year. When the pandemic hit, I was so worried about finding a job that pays well and is suited to my skills and interests. Naomi responded to my email right away and set up a remote interview. She really took the time to get to know me and understand the type of positions that I was interested in. She has been such a pleasure to work with over these past several months and I am so grateful to have connected with such a caring, responsive, and thoughtful organization. Anyone looking for a nanny/PA/housekeeping job should reach out to The Help Company right away! read more

This company is a hot mess and is the one that needs the help!!! If you are looking for a reliable source then this is not the place. If you are looking for your time and efforts to be wasted then this is the place. Simple as that. read more

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your efforts on my behalf. Opportunities are a gift and your HELP in making those opportunities possible is a service that does more then just place people in positions that need filling...it transforms peoples lives. You have transformed mine now twice. Words alone can not express how grateful I am to have you and THE HELP CO. looking out for my interest. The first transformation 4 years ago made things for my wife and I that I never thought would or could happen. Now at a time in my life when I have begun to have some doubts and concerns about our future, you have once again provided an opportunity that will transform my life in ways yet to be determined. You have my most heartfelt thanks for what you do for all of us who are lucky enough to find you and The Help Co. We have to make the most of opportunity when it presents itself and all of you are the best possible presenters we could ever have. YOU are the stewards of change and transformation. I am forever grateful. read more

I've worked with many recruiting agencies in the past and The Help Company stands out for so many reasons. The recruiters actually care about you and where you are placed. They are very responsive, professional and very understanding when it comes to your specific needs. They do not rush to get you a job for the satisfaction of there own benefit like most other recruiters. I had the pleasure to work with Naomi who went above and beyond to find me perfect job matches. She always took the time to prepare me before every interview so I never experienced lack of confidence. I highly recommend using The Help Company to find your next dream job! read more

The Help Company has an awesome staff that's friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I love my job they placed me on and the salary is awesome! I will definitely recommend more of my friends to try them out and see for themselves what a great group of ladies they will working with. Thank you very much Claudia! read more

Highly recommend! I'd never gone through a staffing agency before and working with the help company far exceeded my expectations. Truly such a positive experience. I was referred by a friend and they found me my dream job in the middle of a pandemic. Naomi was wonderful to work with and so warm and supportive. Excellent company and staff. A+! read more

The Help Company has been such a pleasure and joy to work with. They genuinely care about all of their clients- whether you're looking for an employee or seeking a job. Michelle and Claudia really worked hard to find the right job for me. The interview process is thorough without being tedious. They made sure to get a clear picture of what I was looking for and find the right match for me. I can't recommend these women any higher. Amazing amazing amazing. If you're looking for a staffing company or need to hire someone I promise you they will find you exactly what you're looking for, and quicker than you'd ever imagine. Thank you for all that you guys do. You're wonderful! read more

I had the misfortune of meeting and interviewing with the ladies of this firm. Not once was my calls or emails returned. Very unprofessional and with a complete lack of integrity. Do not recommend this company. Very misleading and all talk and no results! read more

I went to The Help Company after a rough patch in my life. I wasn't sure how I wanted to move forward, or which position would be right for me. They had been referred to me by a previous employer whom always use their services and was always very satisfied. My experience was wonderful. I emailed them my resume and their response was quick and efficient. Within a day we were conducting a phone interview and within the week I was in their offices having a blast as we talked about where I wanted to go in life. All the interviews were very fun, no pressure, and very much so an intellectual meeting of the minds. I was surprised by how much they were concerned with my happiness and not just their clients. They said the best matches, the longest matches, are when both parties are happy and so they are equally invested in our future as well as the clients. Within a few days I had a job interview, was hired, and now I am the happiest I've ever been in a job. I seriously feel blessed that I was referred to The Help Company because they helped to change my life. (Corny but ridiculously true) read more

Melissa Jensen is the most unprofessional person I've come across. While speaking with me she stated "I'm in such a bad F*****g mood". After that she dropped the F bomb so many times I wanted to just hang up on her. Never mind she called and hour late and kept doing "baby talk". She even said "Some of the moms are B*****'s but just ignore them". The help company is a joke. read more

I have 20 years working with this company and I always recommend them to fellow housekeepers and my employers. Thanks to them I've been able to work with rather high profile clients making my job more fun and interesting. They have an amazing staff that treats you like royalty. Every single employee I have interacted with has been so kind and respectful. In my 20 years there I can truly say I've never needed to seek another agency besides this one. read more

Nothing but great things to say about The Help Company. Kaite and Naomi are two of the hardest working recruiters that truly care about your career and happiness!!! If you have the right personality and the skill set, they will be sending a lot of great opportunities your way! For the people that are reading this that think I or the other people that left great reviews for this company is only writing this because they had placed us somewhere.... YOU ARE TRULY MISTAKEN! They work very hard to give you different option, gives you the space and time to make your decision, gives you their 100% support wither you go with them or not and most importantly they listen and want the best for your career! During my time looking for opportunities, I had MULTIPLE recruiting companies helping me with my job searches and The Help Company is up there with the BEST! read more

If you are very​ young and have no opinions of what you are looking for, or have no preferences for what you want in a job, this is the place for you. If​ you think an agency should want to place you where you would be the happiest, not just making​ money for them, then​ The Help Co is not the place for you. They will be very happy to meet you and then waste your time telling you how much they will be working for you and how your dream job is just around the corner​, complete with many exclamation points!! I never experienced anything remotely similar to the 5 star reviews​ here. Listen instead to the negative reviews. I wish I had. What a colossal waste of time. read more
